Get Involved

Special Olympics Ohio exists to provide year-round sports training and competition opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. You can join our great cause by becoming involved as an athlete, volunteer, donor, sponsor, coach, or family member/friend.

Looking to participate as an athlete? Call our office today at 614-239-7050 and we will put you in touch with a coordinator in your area.

If you are looking to give back or support our mission, we have year round local and state events that always need good volunteers. Visit our volunteer page at here for upcoming opportunities. If you are interested in coaching athletes, please contact your local coordinator. Feel free to call our office if you need contact information at 614-239-7050.

Check back periodically for updates on more opportunities to support Special Olympics Ohio. We host sporting events and fundraisers year-round throughout Ohio and would love your participation. Make a difference and sign-up today!
